About St Nicholas Early Education Chisholm
St Nicholas Early Education Chisholm is a 134-place early education and care centre co-located with St Aloysius Primary School inside the thriving Waterford County Estate. After opening in 2018, our Chisholm centre was met with incredible demand from local families. In response to this demand, St Nicholas extended Chisholm in 2021, adding several additional state-of-the-art learning environments which saw the centre’s licensed places nearly double from 77 to 134.
St Nicholas Early Education Chisholm features contemporary indoor and outdoor learning environments, providing an array of challenging and diverse play opportunities for young children. Some key features include its wooden climbing structures made from natural materials, dry river beds, bicycle tracks, a mud pit, large open-plan rooms, and much more.
Co-located with St Aloysius Primary School, St Nicholas Early Education Chisholm offers families a convenient one-stop drop-off and pick-up for parents and carers with children attending both places while also supporting St Nicholas’ coveted Transition to School program for preschool children. With St Nicholas and St Aloysius’ both part of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle, our Chisholm centre offers families a connected educational pathway with priority enrolment at St Aloysius’, creating a seamless transition from early childhood to primary education.
